APademy.

Last night the Gray & Stephens ORA
matte Comedy Company began an en-
gagement at the Academy in Lawrence
Marsten's sensational drama, 1.-The Old
Oaken Bucket" The piece possesses
many attractive features, and the com
pAny probably carries more scenery than
any troupe which has shown here this
season. The fire scene is great and the
vision in the last act is impressive.
Several trained dogs are introduced and
take important parts in the play. Miss
Minnie Oscar Gray fills the dual role of
Bess Courtwright and Messenger-Boy
a. She IS pretty and natural and
pleasing actress. Her support is very
good.
The same play will be repeated at the
matinee to-day and tonight. 1t IS worth
seeing.
